The construction of objects of critical infrastructures such as a new roads, utility tunnels, communication networks, underground parks and other structures is associated by the way with generation of vibrations in the vicinity of the underground structures, and not only human lives can be lost but also extensive material damage can be expected due to technological and natural hazards based on vibrations. This paper presents the general governing equations for coupled thermo-hydromechanical process in the tunnel surrounds. Modeling and analysis of laminated composite cylinder applied for the objective analysis of shock wave propagation in the soils and possibilities to estimates of the tunnel structure damage.

This paper deals with governing equations and approximate analytical solutions based on some wellknown assumptions to the non-linear buckling and vibration problems of laminated composite doubly curved shallow shells. Obtained results will be presented by analytical expressions of the lower critical load, the postbuckling load-deflection curve and the fundamental frequency of non-linear free vibration of the shell.

A piezoelectric curvilinear arc stator designed for an ultrasonic curvilinear motor is studied in this research. Design of piezoelectric curvilinear arc stator is proposed and its governing equations and vibration behavior are investigated. Then, analysis of forced vibration response or driving characteristics to harmonic excitations in the modal domain is conducted. Finite element modeling and analysis of the arc stator are also discussed. Analytical results of free vibration characteristics are compared favorably with the finite element results. Harmonic analyses of the three finite element models reveal changes of dynamic behaviors of three models and also imply operating frequencies with significant traveling wave component. Study of mathematical and finite element simulation results suggests that stable traveling waves can be generated to drive a motor on the proposed curvilinear arc stator system.

In this study, we consider zone-based registration (ZBR) in mobile communication networks. In ZBR, when a mobile moves to a new zone, it registers its zone to the network database to keep the mobile’s current zone, and to connect an incoming call to the mobile when it is generated. A mobile can store one zone, or more than one zones. Among various types of ZBR, we focus on two-zone-based registration (TZR), which is known to have good performance. In TZR, a mobile can store two zones that it has recently registered, and does not register when it crosses either zone that it has already kept. In general, in TZR, a mobile registers its zone less often than in single-zone-based registration (SZR). However, TZR increases the paging cost, because the network may not know the exact zone where the mobile is. Mathematical modeling and performance analysis are performed to obtain the exact performance of SZR and TZR, by considering the busy-line effect and implicit registration effect of outgoing calls from a mobile. From numerical results for various circumstances, it is shown that TZR is superior to SZR in most cases.

Self-actuating aircraft wings for in-flight deicing with minimal power requirements are proposed. Lightweight piezoelectric actuators are utilized to excite the wing structure to its natural frequencies to induce shear stresses on the surface of the wing. The shears are generated in such a way that they are sufficient to break the weak bond between the ice layer and the wing surface. A laminated composite cantilever plate is used for the modeling and analysis. Analytical model is developed to predict the natural frequencies and shear stresses on the surface of the plate and finite element modal analysis is carried out to verify the results. In addition, finite element model involving the ice deposited on the underlying structure is built. The dynamic responses of the structure to harmonic excitation to its first five natural frequencies are investigated. It is observed that significant amount of ice de-bonding from the substrate occurs in the third mode, or the second symmetric mode. Moreover, the energy requirements of the piezoelectric actuators to actuate an adaptive composite structure with given weight are evaluated.

Many strategies have been proposed to reduce the mobility management cost in mobile communication networks. This paper studies the zone-based registration methods that have been adopted by most mobile communication networks. We focus on two special zone-based registration methods, called two-zone registration (2Z) and two-zone registration with implicit registration by outgoing calls (2Zi). We provide a new mathematical model to analyze the exact performance of 2Zand 2Zi. We also present various numerical results, to compare the performance of 2Ziwith those of 2Zand one-zone registration (1Z), and show that 2Ziis superior to 2Zas well as 1Zin most cases.
